Les Voisins du Zéro or Neighbors of Zero

Translated from French, “Les Voisins du Zero” means “Neighbors of Zero.” The bet’s name pretty much sums it all up. It includes the 17 numbers closest to zero on the wheel.

Specifically, Les Voisins du Zero covers sections 22 through 25 of the racetrack, including the following numbers:

• 22, 18, 29, 7, 28, 12, 35, 3, 26, 0, 32, 15, 19, 4, 21, 2 and 25

The theoretical probability of winning this bet is 45.9% since it covers roughly 46% of the layout.

Les Voisins du Zero can be called in online roulette by clicking or tapping the corresponding button. The stake will be distributed among the included numbers according to the denomination selected.

Since American roulette has a different layout configuration, Les Voisins du Zero is not available.

Jeu Zero or Zero Game

Jeu Zero is a shortened version of Les Voisins du Zéro. It is the section on the racetrack that spans from 12 to 15, covering seven numbers closest to zero:

• 12, 35, 3, 26, 0, 32, and 15.

The probability of winning Jeu Zero is 18.9%.

Les Finales or Final Bets

Les Finales or Final bets are wagers on numbers ending in the same digit as your choice. For instance, a Final bet on 3 would include numbers 3, 13, 23, and 33. The same bet on 7 would cover three numbers — 7, 17, and 27. You can also place a Final bet on 0, which would include 0, 10, 20, and 30.

Les Finales bets have odds of 10.8% or 8.1%, depending on whether four or three numbers are involved.

Tiers du Cylindre or Third of the Wheel

Tiers du Cylindre covers one-third of the numbers on the roulette wheel, as the name suggests. The bet is also known as the 5/8 series.

Tiers du Cylindre is located opposite Les Voisins du Zero on the wheel. Here’s the full list of numbers included in the bet:

• 5, 8, 10, 11, 13, 16, 23, 24, 27, 30, 33, and 36.

The probability of winning Tiers du Cylindre is 32.4%.

Les Orphelins or the Orphans

Les Orphelins is composed of numbers not covered by Tiers du Cylindre or Les Voisins du Zero. It fills in the gaps and rounds out the wheel.

Here’s the full list of numbers included in the Les Orphelins bet:

• 1, 20, 14, 31, 9, 17, 34, and 6.

Les Orphelins (literally “The Orphans”) is named after its composition. Specifically, the numbers covered are divided into two groups, and the bet does not form a continuous sequence on the wheel.

Neighbors Bet

The neighbors bet consists of five numbers, including your chosen number and two adjacent numbers on either side of the wheel. If you were to select 20, its four “neighbors” would be automatically added — 14, 31, 33, and 1.

Full Complete or Maximum Bets

It may be a little challenging to get your head around full complete bets at first. After a few rounds, you’ll get the hang of it.

Here’s the rundown. Whenever you place a full complete bet on one number, all inside bets will be included, namely straight bet, split bets, street bets, corner bets, and six-line bets. It’s a costly wager, but the payoff can be substantial if you hit. Hence, it’s more suitable for high rollers.

Fixed vs. Variable Roulette Call Bets

The difference between fixed and variable roulette call bets was discussed earlier, but let’s revisit it now.

Fixed call bets are wagers that always cover the same sections and numbers. These include Les Orphelins, Tiers du Cylindre and Les Voisins du Zéro.

In variable bets, the number of bets is customizable based on the players’ preferences. Final bets fall into this category. If you opt for Final 1, you will get 1, 11, 21, and 31; choosing Final 2 will give you 2, 12, 22, and 32.
